Post-consumer Recycled Plastics In Automotive
Post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastics are plastics recovered from products that have already been used and discarded by consumers (such as beverage bottles, food containers, and packaging). These materials are collected, sorted, cleaned, and reprocessed into raw materials that can be used to manufacture new automotive components.
Why the Automotive Industry Uses PCR Plastics
Automakers are increasingly adopting PCR plastics to:
Reduce dependence on virgin petroleum-based plastics.
Lower greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption.
